In my notebook documents, I often use Hyperlinks to other similar topics, many
times in the same document. They look example like this: here I also deal with
topic 1, topic 2 and topic 3. They are all under this headline.
The keywords “topic x” are provided with bookmarks and I want to refer to them
as well as to the headline.
1.) While I am doing so accidentally another hyperlink is on the clipboard and
this one is first fed into the first entry “Pfad” of the dialog.
2.) Then have to remove the automatic target for the path from the dialog, e.g.
by first selecting everything in this field and then deleting it.
3.) But when I click on Dokument in order to select the bookmark with its
proper selection item, it sometimes happens, that the just deleted URL
reappears. It looks like that this reproducibly happens, if on the last usage
of associating hyperlinks, the last one was an Internet Link, i.e. if the left
uppermost button Internet is highlighted by a blue bar. . But as soon, as I
click on the button, I am back to where I started!
By clicking on the button Document, the path in the field above re-appears,
which just had been deleted!
4.) If you start over again from this point by first leaving the whole dialog
and reopening it, the next time the blue bar is at Dokument and now one can
select the hyperlink in the same document by clicking to the button with the
mouse pointer in the screenshot in order to open the dialog Hyperelink.
Further steps (three additional) to be taken until a hyperlink is successfully
inserted see attached document with screenshots.
If I count right, 7 steps have to be taken to associate a hyperlink to some
text tag. It might be done with fewer steps. But the endless loop (unless you
leave the dialog) in step 3 is definitely a bug. It is merely a question of
good UI design, if it could not be done with fewer steps and less nested dialog
windows.
